## Description

Product Description          With pianist Bruce Barth, bassist Rodney Whitaker, Terell Stafford on trumpet, and Tim Warfield, Jr. on saxophones, the Chicago-based drummer hits for the seats on his debut recording as a leader. Performing a set of mostly original material along with several rearrangements of jazz and popular standards, Hall's fertile and agile drumming propels the group of longtime friends (they've all been, except for Whitaker, members of Stafford's working band for ten years) into a first-rate album of modern mainstream jazz.             Review          ...the viscerally exciting, intellectually formidable Chicago drummer powers bands with a remarkable combination of energy and control. --Chicago Tribune

    Very Good Jazz
  

*by W***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 25, 2013*

I like Jazz where the ensemble leader does novel interpretations of familiar classic Jazz works. (I suppose saying so is just a redundant definition.) This is a pleasant collection to listen to and it can be listened to several times over.

    Wanted to like it.

Meh.Dana Hall aint Art Blakey, and this isn't the Jazz Messengers.There's something going on, but there's also way too much awareness of the thing that is "jazz" for me to take this seriously.Obviously these dudes are talented, but I also think they're shackled by the past.Maybe they should be less Keith Jarrett and more Kahil El Zabar.I hear talent, but it's confined by self imposed barriers. Dana Hall should do himself a solid and embrace his inner Branford Marsalis. If anybody could have been roped in by their history, it's him. Yet he is a true artist.  I'm sort of pulling for Dana Hall, but anybody that's up to speed on current jazz might find this recording somewhat frustrating. I sure as hell did.

    What Modern Bop should be
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 16, 2010*

Full disclosure: I was privileged to be at the Green Mill in Chicago on Jan 24 2009, the night before this album was cut. The quintet played all of the album and announced they were going into the studio the next day. I have just got my hands on the CD. I have met Mr. Warfield socially on several occasions and through him met Terell Stafford and Dana Hall, both of whom I hold in high esteem.That said, If you are a jazz fan and are wondering what is happening to modern bop or post-bop (I'm color-blind in that range) you owe it to yourself to get this album. This is not overwhelming-to-the-point-of-being-bland background jazz. This is get-out-the-good-earphones-I-don't-want-to-miss-anything listening music.I don't wish to get into too many superlatives. Dana Hall fills the rhythmic space tightly, not letting you forget this project is lead by a percussionist. But he does not overshadow the melodic elements. Warfield and Stafford are everything you would hope for if you have ever heard them, and more than you expect if not. Bass and keyboards blend in with intimacy enough to make a virgin blush. If you are bass solo fan (and really, who isn't?) check Whitaker's solo on "For Rockelle" his ode to his daughter.But I promised myself not to go into a track by track review. just buy and enjoy.
